There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.

Hi everyone!

Everything has to come to an end. Today is my last day in Tenby International School Miri with my interns colleague as well. Today I will be summarizing what had happen within the two months internship period.

I start my internship on 1st August 2013, with Vivian Lee and led by my supervisor Esther Choo. After a week, I met Wong Pei Ling, another intern colleague from Curtin University Sarawak as well. During the internship period, we had gone through two major event which are Tenby Open Day and Curtin Open Day. 

During the internship period, I meet a lot of people and learn a lot of things. For example, I learned how to use Photoshop to edit photo and doing map. As Tenby is an international school, I was learn how to deal with the people from different cultural background.  

Moreover, I found that Tenby International School Miri has a very unique culture which is much different with the other government and private school in Miri. For example, the students in Tenby are very disciplined. They neither need a prefect to guide them nor bell ring to remind them go back class after break time. In addition, the teaching way they implement also very unique. They do bring the student to the outdoor and drawing on the road.

For your information, Tenby also implement a new system named Kiosk. Students are being given a card and this Kiosk is allowed the parents to reload the card by cash or cheque for the student to paying the meal, drinks or stationary.

 Unlike other school, Tenby also provide some classes which other school do not provide. For example, swimming class, Drama class and music class. Teachers are professional in the fields.

 Last but not least, I really feel glad that have the chance intern in Tenby International School Miri. If there is another chance for me to choose, I will choose Tenby International School Miri to complete my Internship assessment. I learnt a lot of things during the internship period. The staff are very friendly and kind.

Tenby In Curtin

Hi everyone!

As promised, I am going to share the upcoming event on Tenby International School Miri. After Tenby Open Day, the next event would be the Curtin Open Day. Hmmm, sound interesting huh? Let me tell you more now!

Tenby Booth during Curtin Open Day

Curtin Open Day was held on 14th September 2013. Luckily, Tenby International School Miri was invited and set a booth at the recreation hall. For this event, I had spent around 3 weeks on discussing the detail of the event with the our supervisor and my colleagues - Vivian Lee and Wong Pei Ling. 

Before the Curtin Open Day, I was busy designing a new brochure for the Curtin Open Day. While designing the brochure, I had proposed several idea and pattern to my supervisor. My supervisor is also friendly enough to guide me how to do and inform me of the requirement by Tenby International School such as font size. This brochure took me a week to complete. It is indeed a very new experience for me on designing a brochure and I feel really excited when i saw my works finally came to fruition and  been printed out!!!!

Other than that, me and other interns colleagues were requested to come out with a PR event plan which including the Event Plan, Running Schedule and Checklist. Within this period, I found that planning an event is not just as simple as the thing that we usually do in the class. In the real life, budget, time consuming and some rule limited need to be concerned as well. Fortunately, my supervisor and others colleagues are very friendly and willing to guide us when we committed some mistakes. Just a day before the Curtin Open Day, we were helping out to decorate the students’ works on Science, Art, Literacy and Music on the board stand.

The purpose of this event is to get public attraction and awareness on Tenby International School Miri that the school  has moved to a new location. This event involved all the Tenby Staff including the Principle as well. The event started at 1000am. However, Tenby staff arrived in the early morning for setting up the booth.

This is all about the Tenby during Curtin Open Day. Thanks for reading the post. Wish you have a good day. And, next post will be my last post which will be released on the end of September. Cheers!

Welcome Back to Tenby International School Miri

Hi, everyone!

As promised in my previous post, I will be sharing the preparation and the things happen on Tenby Open Day 2013 and Tenby School Reopen today.

Tenby Open Day was held on 27th August 2013 but it took two weeks for me and my colleagues to complete it. Before the open day, me and my colleagues were fully occupied on the designs of the leaflet and the lay out of the Tenby International School Miri new campus so that the leaflet will be able to be distributed on time. Meanwhile, we also helped the staff to do some simple tasks when we were free  although these were not really related with the PR such as unpacked the boxes and arrange the books. Before the Open Day, my colleagues and I were being informed that what should we do and don't on that day by our supervisor and management executive. 

The objective of the Tenby Open Day is to allow the parents and students to familiarize themselves with the new environment before the school starts. Before the Open Day, Tenby staff had emailed the parents to inform them the upcoming event. Nevertheless, the map layout of the new campus also send as attachment with the invitation mail. On the Open Day, there is a hard copy prepared and distributed to the parents. Parent also being guided by the staff and us to have a side tour on the new campus. 

Tenby International School Reopen on 2nd September 2013. On the day School Reopen, there was an assembly in the early morning. The assembly was started by the Tenby Principle Mr Philip Brisley by giving a welcoming speech to the students and parents. Parents, teachers and staffs attended the assembly as well. 

After Mr Philip finished giving his speech, Denise Sinclair (School Improvement & Development Manager of Tenby School Ipoh) also being invited to give a speech on the school reopen.

After half an hour of the assembly, students were led by the teachers to their own class.

Most of the parent were going to the office to pay the registration fees and asking for additional information. My colleagues and I were assisting the staff on serving the parents. On that day, I learnt how to deal with different people from different background. As some parents are from Western country and Asian country, the way they behave and expectation are totally different. It really was surprising me a lot. 

Thanks for reading my post and I hope you guys enjoy it. I will update the upcoming event which is Curtin Open day in my next post. Wish you have a nice day and cheers!

To be continue...

This is a new semester. A new beginning.

Hi everyone!

As this is my first post for PR393 Reflective Blog, I am glad to write a little bit about myself and the place I worked at. My name is Moh Su Tin and please call me Chris. I am from Sarawak, Malaysia. Currently, I am studying at Curtin University Sarawak and majoring in PR and Management. This semester is my final year and hopefully it will be my final semester. 

For the purpose of the assignment, I, as a PR student have conducted my internship at Tenby International School Miri. Tenby International School Miri is the only International Private School in Miri which provides Early Years Programme, Primary and Secondary. Previously, Tenby International School was located at Piasau Camp. In August 2013, Tenby International School just recently moved to a new campus which located at Senadin (Beside Curtin University Sarawak) and start the school on September 2013.

Name card given by Esther

I started my internship on 1st August 2013 with my friend, Vivian Lee. After a week, there is a new colleague join us as intern and her name is Wong Pei Ling. During the internship, we were led by our supervisor, Esther Choo, the marketing executive.  

On the first day of my internship, Tenby International School Miri was just moved to a new location. Thus, there are not much work to be assigned to us. Henceforth, Vivian and I were assigned to help to check the stocks for the upcoming event - Tenby Open Day and Curtin Open Day.

Media Kits

On the second day of my internship, me and my colleague, Vivian Lee were asked to do a survey at Bintang Mega Mall accompanied by our supervisor. During distribution of the survey forms, we also gave out the Tenby Info card to the public who help us to fill in the form. On coming Monday, me and Vivian were requested to change the location to Permy Mall and continue the survey to get different group of participants. After the survey was done, we were asked to do a summary report and submit to our supervisor. This is our first task during the internship period.

Survey

After Pei Ling joined us, Elsie, the Management Executive and our supervisor, Esther had a short briefing with us about our job scope and brought us to the tour while introduced the staff to us. Meanwhile, I was assigned to do the competitor analysis and the map for the Tenby Open Day held on 1st September 2013.

Up to this point, I hope you guys have a better understanding on me and the place I worked at. Guess I will just stop at this point. Next week I'll post about the preparation and the Tenby Open Day.

Hope you guys are enjoying with the post and if you have any suggestion or things to know, do let me know in the comments. Cheers!
